Once brine is cooled- Open and pour the contents of The Fizz bags on top of each other in the middle of a clean/dry food grade 5-gallon sealable bucket or stock pot. Add cooled brine solution and 1 gallon of ice water. Immediately add pork. Submerging it in the solution. Fill with more ice and water if needed. Leaving a little room to add ice later. Seal the bucket and store in a cool location (50-65 degrees). Add ice as needed to keep chilled. Depending on cut and weight, brine for no less than 6 hours, but no more than 24 hours. When done brining, remove pork and rinse thoroughly (or you risk it being too salty). Discard the liquid. Cook to desired doneness (145-160 degrees). Cut and serve. Enjoy!
